• GA128-033 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  On a low hill overlooking marshy land to the N. Subcircular rath (25.3m NE-SW; 22.3m NW-SE), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank and fosse are visible all round. No visible surface trace survives of the outer bank from S through W to N and it is overlain by the townland boundary from N through E.

• GA128-079 Ringfort - cashel
  Description

  In a low-lying area of woodland and scrub. This subcircular cashel (35m NE-SW), fair condition, is defined by a much-collapsed drystone wall (Wth 0.9-2m; H 0.2-0.6m) that is obscured by overgrowth. Few facing-stones are visible. A gap (Wth 1.2m) at SSE appears to be modern. A rectangular structure (L 5.5m; Wth 1.2m) immediately to its SSW may be the remains of an outhouse. In the NW quadrant of the interior a linear stone-filled hollow may be the collapsed remains of a possible souterrain (GA128-079001-).
